The hours needed to complete it in time https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/gvxylc/the_battle_pass_xp_per_level_is_somewhat_absurd_w/ this post explains it pretty well

I'll need to review that to make sure it's accurate, but either way, I can tell you this: When we make tuning adjustments to the Battle Passes, we take lots of things into consideration. Here are a few:

• HOW MANY PLAYERS ARE BUYING THE PAID PASS? If that's lower than we want, then it means players probably don't think it's "worth" it, and that's a problem. It could be that the rewards aren't desirable, the pass requires too many games, lots of things.

• HOW MANY PLAYERS ARE 100%ING THE PASS? For every BP game I can think of, Battle Passes are created with a specific distribution in mind. The final tiers of the Battle Pass are supposed to represent something meaningful. "A top percentage of players earned this." It loses its value if it's too easy to get. So, we want completing the Battle Pass to be a commitment, but not impossible. It's why we grant so many rewards to players along the way: so those who couldn't finish it can still walk away with some cool shit.

• FINALLY, HOW DO PLAYE...

I said to my friend “can’t wait for them to release the battlepass”

To which he replied “bro we’ve been playing 6 hours, you click that circle”

Facepalm

Yea, we're missing a tooltip that points it out after you complete the tutorial. Adding that soon.

The hope is that having the mission, contract, and battlepass progress captured in the mini-widget helps people spot check their progress and upcoming rewards anywhere in the experience vs. having to go to a dedicated section each time.

But since it's something of a new way of doing it, we need to add a little more help at the outset so folks know what's there.

I really hope there is a cap to the xp needed for each tier at a certain point. If it constantly goes up by 1000 each level that's just insane. Other games have battle passes that are actually possible to complete without investing 500 hours a week to do. People have lives outside the game, why do they expect us to play so much nonstop after we already paid for it?
Same issue goes with League of Legends, the passes are just insane amounts of grind.

Hijacking the top comment for visibility. TLDR: The battlepass will take ~100 hours to complete.

Weekly XP's also scale up in every week to smooth out the experience curves. Just to give you an idea, the first set of weeklies offer 28,350 total XP and the last set of weeklies offer 60,750 total XP. This will help make sure that you're still able to progress through levels at a healthy clip towards the tail end of a battle pass (rather than just stalling out at the later levels).

Fix the battle pass, it's insane.

I'm gonna need you to elaborate on that lol.

I agree that the battlepass has its own section, however the battlepass placement is a little hidden as I and a lot of other people also had trouble finding it

We are working on this. Appreciate your patience - the team have been focusing on this since the issue came up late into the night before last. Current situation:

1. Most of you should get any new content you earn when you finish a game (and me since my account got hit with this too)
2. We're working to give you back any content you should have earned but didn't because of the bug. This is pretty complicated though so will take a little time unfortunately.
3. The missions not progressing bug is separate and a fix is currently in testing. We should have this fix out quicker.

I made a post about this but I doubt it will get seen cause of how many new posts there are here. So I'll hijack this top comment in a thread that is being seen;

Todays patch seems to have made things worse for me, not better.

Here is a look at my chapter 1 unlocks;

• Red boxes indicate things that haven't unlocked properly
• Green are things that have unlocked properly
• Orange line indicates which levels were completed before/after the patch.

What's worse is that my free agent unlocks seem to be completely broken. Look at this image.

You can see here that I've only used 1 of my 2 free unlocks, but the game thinks that I've used both (presumably because my second unlocked properly where my first did not). So now I also have the option to 'activate contract' on agents, but my second free unlock is missing/unavailable. Since using one of these gives you your first 5 levels free, I don't want to just jump on trying to unlock a character through grinding, only to lose that XP at a later date.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? As I've shown, it seems totally random, with me getting and not-getting items from both the free and premium upgrade paths, rather than it just being battlepass or free items that are broken. Interested to see others experiences with this.

Thanks for the additional info. This & the free agent unlocks should be fixed by the work the team is currently focusing on. We'll get you your content, but it'll take a little more time since the issue is pretty complicated.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Do we have to send a support ticket to get it cleared up?

You don't - the team say they have a good path to identifying anyone affected. Again, it's pretty complicated but we'll get you your content.

If you see that the fix was deployed & people got their missed content but you still didn't, that's when I'd make a support ticket.

DarkyD0rk

just a quick update:

they fixed the bug where you don't get rewards , but they didn't give back the bugged tiers. which means that everything that you've unlocked when the bug was in the game is gone until riot patches this out

Sorry about this - we're working on it. Like I said in the other response, this is our top priority but it's a little complicated. We'll get you your rewards - thanks for your patience.

My 35 shields quest is still resetting too... can't even start weekly challenges

We have a fix for that one in testing now & should be deploying soon.

itsKamoz

Yup still can’t get spectre skin from tier 5

Most people should be earning new content correctly now (when you finish a game you should get what you earned in that game). We're working on fixing it so that any content you earned previously but didn't get due to the bug is granted to you as soon as possible

Unfortunately this issue is complicated, but it's top priority for the team today (as it also was yesterday & when it first popped up in the middle of the previous night).

I have something else binded to Alt, whats the action called

Show Teammate Loadouts; it's under Controls > Interface

EDIT: Fixed my error

Honestly this is the reason why I have nothing to say in this thread, because it's a perfect system. Have money to spare? knock yourself out buying stuff. If you don't? you get free stuff anyways. win-win

I don't know if it's PERFECT...but we're trying! I appreciate your mentality on this :) Thanks fam!

yep there are others! if you look through the skins in your collections youll find them. Frenzy, Judge, Ares, and Bulldog :)

Oh cool, thanks! Love you guys ♥

We love you too fam ♥
